🎉 We’re officially ONE! 🎉

Happy 1st Birthday to OnTrack 🥳

As with any new venture, there has been highs and lows. On a personal level, it’s been challenging and rewarding in equal measure. As I reflect on this first year, I can proudly say… we did it — and judging by our 43 five-star Google reviews, we did it pretty well 🌟

🙏 A huge thank you to all 140+ new clients who walked through our doors this year. Especially those early clients who put your trust in a brand new clinic — you know who you are. I always say it but it’s a real privilege to support people in their journey to better health and fitness and I’ll always strive to provide high-quality services at a reasonable price here at OnTrack.

You’ll often see me use “we” and “us” on here — and that’s because none of this would be possible without my wife . She’s been my sounding board, reality checker, cheerleader, and an absolute Excel wizard. Without her and her spreadsheets, things would be a lot more… chaotic 😅

So here’s to Year 2 — Looking forward to getting even more of you back OnTrack 🖤🤍

London Marathon - Race Recap.

Just a few post run thoughts 💭

This recap is very performance focussed but I owe it to the event as a whole to say, London was absolutely f*cking incredible.

It’s not easy to ‘enjoy’ running 26.2 miles but I had a few ‘savour the moment’ moments:
🌉 Looked up as I ran over tower bridge
👋 Waved at my family and friends.
🖐️ High fived a few kids (a little power up)
👊 Fist bumped Kipchoge at the start (ultimate power up)

A few thank yous while we’re here:

for seamless bottle transfers and being my No.1 fan. She told me after that she ran between checkpoints to make sure she got me my drink. Gotta respect it. ❤️

/ for putting us up in London 🏠

for showing us round his city and leading the celebrations 🍻

All family, friends and strangers who gave me a shout or contributed to the atmosphere. It’s crazy that a 26 mile course can be lined with people from start to finish 🔊

My club. I joined in late 2022 after annoyingly missing out on a 3 hour goal… to think I’ve shaved 30 mins off that time in 2 and a half years is crazy and wouldn’t have been possible without some fantastic dedicated coaches and club mates 🙏

I will never forget my first London Marathon 🙌

🌱Spring Schedule 2025 🌱
A little update as there will be slight changes to opening times over the next couple of weeks.
Great news - we will be open more days, ensuring you can get those essential pre race sports massages in. We are even open throughout the bank holiday weekend!
From the 2nd May there will be a change to our usual physiotherapy clinic days as Marcus starts his new NHS job role.
Other times for lactate testing are always available - Pre booking via Phil or at ontrackphysio.co.uk
We would advise booking in advance for sports massage/physio to avoid disappointment in the next couple of weeks.
Even though it is all eyes on the marathon right now, our normal physio services continue where we assess and treat a wide range of conditions.

In the name of celebrating the wins....
I got me a new job!!! 🎉
I’m super happy to be starting a new role as a First Contact Practitioner with Tameside & Glossop NHS Trust! ☺️
What is a First Contact Practitioner?
Basically, physios by background who are trained in advanced practice to assess, diagnose and manage undiagnosed pathology in a primary care (first contact) setting. This means I’ll be working in GP practices in my NHS role from now on.
It’s no secret that I’ve not been enjoying my MSK NHS role for a while now, which was part of the drive in setting up OnTrack. Since completing my Advanced practice and first contact practitioner module at MMU last year, I’ve been ready for a fresh challenge and this provides the perfect opportunity.
That said, I’m honestly so sad to be leaving some amazing colleagues at Trafford MSK after 4 fab years. I’ve met some friends for life and have learnt loads from some incredible clinicians.
I will still be committing to 3 days per week at OnTrack Physio. There may be a slight change in working days so watch this space. I have some exciting things planned for the coming months as the clinic continues to grow.
Cannot wait to get stuck into the new role. I’ve got that excited/nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach again, which usually means good things are about to happen 😬
Bring on the next chapter! 📖

🏅 Medal Monday 🏅
🏃‍♂️Trimpell 20
🥈2nd place
⏱️1.54.58
Trimpell 20. Proper, local, no frills race. Start somewhere around that lampost, give or take a couple of meters. Run 20 miles. Collect a wagon wheel and a t shirt after crossing the barely visible finish line. Love it.
Place almost irrelevant. Pace very relevant. The two times I’ve ran this I’ve worked together with other runners aiming for similar marathon times in the coming weeks. Short chat in the first 2km to establish goal pace. Tuck in and get to work. Each of us knowing that working together for as long as possible will make the next 20 miles slightly easier.
I went in with a risky s**t or bust mindset. As ever, marathon pace has felt nearly impossible in training so far. I wanted to test that in race conditions as my Trimpell 20 time from last year predicted my eventual Manchester marathon pace, to the second.
From the off I got in a good group which were right on pace, the eventual winner had such metronomic pacing and dragged us through the first 20k without too much suffering.
If last year was anything to go by, the last few K’s at Trimpell are the toughest. Head winds. Hot day. Lonely. My left side was starting to tighten up at this point too - I was loving the pro 3’s but I found you really have to graft in them to get the best of them. It’s like the more you put into them, the more they give back, in a way. Anyway, could be psychological and I probably shouldn’t attribute so much of that performance to the shoes.
I probably dug a little deep on that one for a B race but big confidence boost and test of my fitness. Absolutely delighted with that result - nearly 5 minutes faster than last year!
Onwards to the big one in the big smoke. I think this will be my last race before London 😬
